Itchy: Itching may sometime be a sign of a more serious illness. Check with your internist, or a dermatologist.

Itch: Good question. Do you have a rash? If not, then it could be due to an inflammation of an internal organ (thyroid, liver, gall bladder) or an infection or even just an allergy. Best to rule out the worst first.

ITCHING ALL OVER: How long have you been itching all over? Do you take any medications? Is the itch all below the waist, or does it also itch on your face and scalp. Anybody else in your family or your friends itch? Do you have a cat or dog? Have you changed your soap or laundry detergent? If it persists, see a doctor, preferably a dermatologist.

?systemic problem: Itching all over the body without rash could be a sign of any one of many systemic diseases.Please see a good primary care doctor or internist for evaluation.Trying to list all possible causes to you would just be guessing and get you more worried.Good luck:)

See a dermatologist: Bring all meds and supplements. No antihistamine is likely to help you. You need kidney and liver tests. You need blood tests, maybe x-rays, maybe biopsies. The cause may be something important, so don't delay.
